This recipe calls for a spiral slicer, which cuts the zucchini into thin, pasta-like strands for a delicious take on the “classic” zucchini pasta with marinara. No spiral slicer in your kitchen? Try a julienne vegetable peeler or mandoline.

4 oz. Swiss chard leaves, stems removed (4 cups)

1 Tbs. olive oil

1 Tbs. grated lemon zest

1 Tbs. lemon juice

Zucchini with Spicy Romesco

⅛ tsp. red pepper flakes

¼ cup raw almonds

¼ cup raw hazelnuts

4 large zucchini, peeled
